The Holliston Select Board had a quorum of two members as Chair John Cronin was absent. Vice-chair Tina Hein called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm (not a typo – a delayed start due to a “light agenda.”) With a Public Hearing slated for 7:45, the Board got right to business and quickly tackled the first three items on the agenda.

Rail Trail Central Street Crossing – Please Push the Button
The newly renovated Blair Square section of the Upper Charles Rail Trail has been reopened to trail users. With this multi-purpose installation, there are some safety reminders that seem appropriate: there are “rumble strips” of granite in the trail surface to caution bicyclists to slow down through Blair Square, and the Central Street crosswalk as rapid-flashing beacons to alert drivers to pedestrians.
